We don’t have to talk much about the theme of the 2021 Big Time Gaming slot because it is obvious. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is probably one of the most popular TV shows ever in all the countries where it has been aired. Three years after the first Megaways title based on it, the Australian provider comes up with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Megapays where players can win a progressive jackpot besides regular payouts going up to 72,310x the stake. The 2021 title uses 6 reels with up to 117,649 ways to win and offers several bonus features that can boost your odds.
Once again, you will be taken to the famous studio where the reels are set. As you spin the reels, the original theme from the TV show will play in the background adding to the overall atmosphere of the game. On the reels, you will see a mix of high-value gemstone symbols and low-paying playing card royals. The game also features special symbols, including Question Mark Wild and Millionaire Scatter.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Megapays supports wagers starting at $0.40 and going up to $30 per spin. The Autoplay feature is available, allowing players to activate up to 100 autospins. Create a winning combination by landing at least 2 or 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost position, and you will get paid.
Below the main reel set, you will notice an extra reel that spins horizontally. That’s where Wild appears to complete your winning combos. Whenever you hit a win, the Reaction feature triggers to provide you with an additional opportunity to win.
What makes this BTG slot stand out from the crowd is the Megapays feature. Activated when you land the Megapays version of low-value symbols, it grants respins that last as long as new Megapays symbols appear. They are all locked in their position, and the payout is calculated when the feature ends. If you manage to place 4 or more identical Megapays symbols on the reels, you will win one of four progressive jackpots. They will be collected in the Megapays Ladder. Based on it, you can win the Mini, Midi, Major or Mega jackpot. The Mega jackpot starts at $300,000 and increases until it is triggered.
Then, we have the free spins feature triggered by 3 Millionaire Scatters. You get 8 free spins, but you can also use the Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble feature to increase the number of free games. The feature offers lifelines like the TV show, including Ask The Audience, Phone a Friend and 50/50. If you lose a gamble, you can lose free spins. Still, there are milestones where you are granted a certain number of free spins. The maximum number of free spins you can win is 50.
While playing free spins, an increasing win multiplier will boost your payouts. It increases with each cascade win. The multipliers won’t reset on losing spins. The free spins can be retriggered to award up to 8 free spins.
You don’t have to be a fan of TV shows to enjoy Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Megapays. The game will provide you with a thrilling gaming experience while promising some hefty payouts. You can win big if you enter free spins with an unlimited win multiplier, or get lucky enough to hit the Mega jackpot. Another highly volatile slot machine from Big Time Gaming with a solid RTP, sitting at 96.38%.
